Mushroom & Butter Bean Ragout with Cauliflower Purée

Hi, I'd like to try this recipe, but could you help with the mushroom quantity? If I skip portobellos, how many button mushrooms should I use?

Hiya Tanja, great question! If you're skipping the portobello mushrooms, you can use about 2 to 2½ cups (150 - 200 g) of button mushrooms as a substitute. We hope you enjoy the recipe!

Just made it and I love it! Very quick but such a rich and nutritious meal :)

Eating it now. Delicious!

Dear PUL team, I would like to prepare this dish but I don't have a steamer so I was wondering if I could also just boil the cauliflower in enough water? Or is there the risk that the cauliflower might absorb too much moisture and the purée results too watery? Thank you ❤️

Hi Martina, you can boil the cauliflower instead of steaming it if that's more accessible! A bit of extra moisture might also help give the purée a nice creamy texture. With boiling, the cauliflower will likely cook in less time. Perhaps check with a fork around the 8 - 10 minute mark. If they are fork tender, you can drain them off. If needed, you can even let it sit for a few minutes to help reduce any extra water. Adjust the flavour of the purée with extra nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper. We hope you love the dish if you're able to give it a try 🤗✨

Loved this recipe! It's so quick, but really filling. I have an electric steamer, so only needed one pan on the hob. The mashed cauliflower was a nice change from potato and the seasoning made it super tasty. The portions are big with this one, especially for the Ragu, so I'm happy to have leftovers for tomorrow!

Woop woop! So happy to hear this, Rob, enjoy your leftovers 🫶✨

Doubling this recipe, it took my husband 2 hrs to cook, so making 4 servings definitely increases the cooking time. But at the same time, it felt like a luscious Sunday roast-type dinner.

Added carrots and dill and it was quite tasty!

Super quick to make and very flavourful. I did not have the cauliflower so I opted for cornmeal - polenta and came out very goulash-y
I added fresh green herbs instead of italian mix - basil, thyme, origano, sage, lemon balm and cilantro.

Super quick to make! Next time I will cook the cauliflower a little bit less because my purée was very liquid. But otherwise the taste is so good!

The cauliflower purée is awesome! Really loved this recipe ☺️

Oh my gosh, soooo delicious and so easy… super quick to prepare! I loooove it!

Such a quick easy weeknight dinner! Thanks

I'm in love with the cauliflower pure! So creamy and comforting! The Ragout was also very good and i will definitiv repeart this recepie. I could imagine parsnip very well in the pure.

We're smiling from ear to ear, Desdo, thank you! Happy cooking 😊

Maybe it was my cauliflower, or maybe the change in tastebuds during pregnancy, but the mash didn't do it for me. It would perfect with some potatos instead

Hehe pregnancy can indeed alter taste preferences. If you prefer, you can try substituting the cauliflower with potatoes for a more familiar and comforting twist. Happy cooking, Amélie 🤗

Cauliflower puree will be my favorite for sole time!

So yummy and comforting. I opted for potatoes instead of cauliflower, since potatoes are my favorite. Will definitely make this one in the future.

It was very easy to make and most importantly, it was delicious. I found the steps to make the dish in the app very clear and I also liked that you can set a timer for each step

We're so happy to hear, Alie! The step-by-step cook along mode is one of our favourite features of the app :D

This is surprisingly GOOD. I used aubergine/eggplant instead of mushrooms. Would make again!

Hehe we're glad the recipe was a pleasant surprise, Ellis! Hopefully, our recipes continue to impress 🌟

So yummy!!!! And easy peasy ❤️

Delicous and very satisfying! I mixed half cauliflower and half potatos for a bigger mash portion, but in the end I thought it might’ve been filling enough with just the cauliflower mash

Thanks a bunch for sharing your experience with it, Anna 😊

This was easy to make and very delicious!

This meal was a big hit with the family, particularly the cauliflower purée. Will definitely be making again & again!!

So thrilled to hear, Jenny, happy cooking!

Absolutely delicious! 👌🏻

Delicious and very filling. Quick to make. The ragout would also make a good topping for jacket potatoes.
